National Assembly Majority leader Kimani Ichung'wah has said Azimio la Umoja leader Raila Odinga has the power to calm the political tension in the country.
He claimed that Raila's supporters pay attention to his requests and added that the ODM leader should tell them to remain calm during protests.
On Thursday, he talked with Jane Marriot, the British High Commissioner.
"If Raila told his supporters to hold peaceful demos, if he said that nobody will loot or destroy property, they will not, so he has the power to end the tensions," Ichung'wah said.
He reiterated that the Kenya Kwanza Alliance was prepared to hold discussions about the reorganisation of the IEBC.

However, the Kikuyu MP cautioned against political parties or politicians appointing commissioners, pointing out that it would be a recipe for turmoil.
"I hope our friends will see the reason to have an election panel that will pick commissioners. Commissioners picked by political parties or politicians will always have their allegiance to whoever picked them," he said.
He suggested creating an election committee to choose commissioners, with experts serving as advisors.
"We could craft something where everyone is involved; the media, the church, the civil society, and all interested parties to these matters. The public participation forum in Parliament gives that opportunity and then we can have experts involved but in an advisory role," he added.
